Two french films
Perhaps it's just having seen its latter incarnations, Stalag 17, The Great Escape, etc., but I found this film greatly overrated. Renoir's mixture of comic and bleak works in Rules of the Game, whose void leaves its audience to ponder society's vacuity. In The Grand Illusion, most of the jokes fall flat, and one is left questioning the point of the film.

Lou Reed's Berlin
About three weeks ago I saw Lou Reed perform his 1973 album Berlin, live at Royal Albert Hall. I'm not a huge Velvet Underground fan, and I can't say I know all of Lou Reed's stuff either, but Berlin is definitely an amazing album.

Firefox 3
My first impression is that it's quite a lot faster, and it supports the new version of the completely indispensible vimperator plugin (don't bother clicking if you don't know what vim is). This version of vimperator adds a bunch of useful things; I'm most pleased with the fact that C-u now clears the line as it should, rather than opening the source window which it used to do.

Meat Puppets Concert
Oddly exactly one year after my last article on the Meat Puppets, I write about them again. I saw them on Monday at Scala.

This is a silly post to document what linux commands we use the most. I got it from here. (With zsh you have to run:
history 0|awk '{a[$2]++ } END{for(i in a){print a[i] " " i}}'|sort -rn|head)
